In response to COVID-19, the University has issued a temporary policy regarding research participation at UNC-Chapel Hill. At this time, please understand there may be delayed responses from study teams, or you may be asked to postpone your participation in a study.

For current study participants: Please contact your study coordinator to find out how COVID-19 precautions may impact your study schedule; many study visits will need to be done remotely or postponed. If your study visit remains scheduled, please notify research staff before the visit if you have traveled to an area with a high risk for COVID-19, you have had contact with someone who has COVID-19, or you have a fever or respiratory symptoms.
